Got a Folding N awhile ago. A rough one missing
some parts including the carburetor. If it had one
it would likely be broken as this is from the time
when the pot metal would swell, become brittle,
and break apart. This replacement is from a later
Neptune but is the same except for the bracket
that would hold a choke cable. I may cut it off at
a later date. 1 day of soaking and 2 days of
cleaning in between other projects I have going.
Soaked in Gunk carb cleaner. It takes off the crud
from and in the carb body but its still discolored.
I removed the black coating with any number of
solvents, cleaners, pads, sand paper, and brushes.
My system is mostly a little of this and a little
of that.
Guess I’ll have to work a little harder on my next carb overhaul and cleanup to get all the discoloration off it. Just finished a carb overhaul on my Johnson CD-11 and just painted it with a cast aluminum paint to freshen it up.
